In this country, the history of Juneteenth is skewed, one-sided, and incomplete.

For this year's Juneteenth special, we're having an intergenerational conversation with Professor Juneteenth Sam Collins to unveil the hidden history of this newly nationally-recognized holiday.  

Listen now as we find the missing pieces of the puzzle, illuminate the stories of our unsung heroes, and celebrate our resilience.
